Aquest llibre vol fer front al problema històricament silenciat de la violència als discapacitats físics o psíquics. Està adreçat als professionals, familiars i als propis discapacitats i té l'objectiu de prevenir els abusos abans que aquests comencin i donar eines a les pròpies víctimes per defensar-se si es troben en una situació de maltractament o de violència.
Nancy M. Fitzsimons és professora de treball social a la Universitat Estatal de Minessota i té una àmplia experiència com a conductora de sessions de prevenció del maltractament amb persones amb diferents tipus de discapacitats.
